Monthly wrap up- Feb and March

Well.... I'm not as caught up as I wanted to be, and I didn't get a monthly wrap-up posted for February, but I'm still having fun reading a variety of old, new, fiction, non-fiction, short and long books for all the challenges on my side bar.  So here's the scoop for February and March.


The composite report indicates that for February and March , I've read  and reviewed  25 books, and officially abandoned only one (Shadow of the Wind) .  Of those my top five are

1. The Cruelest Month
2. The Khan Dilemma
3. War Torn: Stories of War from the Women Reporters who Covered Vietnam
4. The Poacher's Son
5. The House on Beartown Road


.
So here's the progress for the month--the Challenge Title links to that blog's contest, and the Book title links to my review:
